5 JOHN L miLLnn, or YORK, PENNSYLVANIA.

WRINGER. I Q- SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 381,158,datedApril 17:, 1888 7 ,Application filed November 1, 188 4. Serial No.146.986. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern: I

Be it known that I, JOHN L. MILLER, of

, York, in the county of York and State of'Penn- 'sylvania, haveinvented new and useful Improvementsin Clothes-.Wringers; and thefollowing is a full and accurate'description 0f the same.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of mywringer. Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same. Figs. 3 and 4 aredetails showing modifications of construction.

The frame of my wringer I prefer to make of iron protected by a coatingof zinc, ordi-, narily called galvanizediron. The principal parts arethe posts A, each of which is composed of twoparallel sections, aa,concave within and standing opposite each other, so as to constitute apost'with a vertical slot in the inner side to admit the journals of therollers B B. vThe post A may be made separate from said saddle andsecured thereto by bolts or screws, as in Figs. 2, 3, and '4. There willthen be alongitudinal slot along the inner face, and it is desirable tomake the post with a corresponding slot on the outer side also, becausethen separate patterns for the right and left hand posts will not berequired. The saddle 0 serves as a bearing for thejournalof the lowerroller. The post A, having the sections a a concave on their innersides, constitutes a hollow post, within which the cylindrical solidrubber spring D may be placed to produce the requisite pressurewithelasticity,and being so completely 'inclosed, protected, andsupported by the post Athe spring D will be rendered as durable as anyother part of the structure.

The sections a a may be cast each with a stud 'ers as they pass through.

ber springs D, incased withinsaid posts, and

- with tbe'adj usting-screws I, asset forth.

2. A wrin'ger-frame composed of the posts 1 A A, each composed ofconcave sections a w,

or spurs, at each end, to pass through the saddle and-arch,respectively,and receivea nut, or an ordinary machine-screwpassing intoi i a screw-socket in said section may be employed;

' Fig. 3 one side shows the tie-bolt and the otherside shows a solidsection to receive the ma-'- chine-screw or be provided with the studs.

The arch F connects the posts A at their tops, and a plate, G, securedat its ends tothe saddles c, similarly unite the posts at their bottoms.

The'shield-plates H prevent the edges. of i clothes from getting overtheends of the roll- Screws I serve to regulate the tension of the Qsprings D. v There is a swinging clamp, J, pivoted=to a lateralextension of the saddle c,at. each end of 60 i the wringer, by means ofwhich attachment may be made to the edge of the tub.

-1. A wringer-frame composed of postsA'A, whereof each is composed oftwo concave sections, at a, secured at top andbottom to archplate F andsaddle '0, respectively, as described,

, Having described my iilvenbion, I claim;

combined with rollers B B and the solid rub D, andtension screws I, asset forth.
